HeadlineDec 22, 2021

The World Food Programme warns the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen is likely to worsen as the group has been forced to cut aid due to a lack of funds. The eight-year-long conflict between U.S.-backed, Saudi-led forces and Houthi rebels has killed some 377,000 people, according to the U.N., internally displaced another 4 million and put 16 million Yemenis on a path to starvation.
